[at-l] Montrails (2nd Try)

[wb4pan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Chase Davidson)]

Curtis,

	I wore out two pair of Montrail GTX. The fit was excelent. Thats why
i bought the second pair. The biggist thing I dont like about the shoe
is that the tread is very thin, so they dont last long for a gortex
high priced sneaker. I find my Skectchers at $39. to be just fine
instead and a lot cheaper than the $118. Montrail. Without the gortex
sealing them up they dry a lot faster too. I never tried there boots.
